Mary A. Carskadon Outstanding Educator Award

The Mary A. Carskadon Outstanding Educator Award, established in 2005, is presented on an annual basis to honor excellence in the field of education related to sleep medicine and research. This award is given to an investigator for an outstanding effort in disseminating basic or clinical sleep and circadian research as a mentor, teacher or through public education. This award honors one educator whose contributions can include training of others who have contributed to sleep or circadian research, writings that educate others in sleep or circadian research or administration and organization of teaching efforts in sleep or circadian research. The call for nominations occurs in early August with a deadline of late September. The award is presented each year at SLEEP, the Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
